<p>[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 25911907, member: 151874"]As chance has it, I've stumbled upon and purchased) several old Whitman coin albums, the latest of which is a Washington quarter album missing only <i><b>two</b></i> coins from being full. Now you're probably thinking "missing the '32-D and S..." naturally. But no... those are in there! It's missing a '32 (P) and a '55-D and that's it!</p><p><br /></p><p>My internal struggle now lies in how much I paid for this lot. The guy I purchased from typically only asks for 20x face, as the majority of the coins are culls or slightly better. This album has far more value than just that generalized price, and I did see the album (and it's contents) prior to buying it. I held in my excitement when I saw that first page, paid him, hung out for a while and chatted it up (as usual), then came home. </p><p><br /></p><p>Opening the book up and glancing at every coin, this was an album put together with some care after about the mid-40's with some stellar examples held inside it. It wasn't really messed with much in terms of removing coins because the two I took out (32-D & S) were practically stuck in the hole.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guilty conscience is telling me to stop by and give him a bit more cash for this, as it's obviously worth more than melt. Have you experienced this before, with underpaying for something you knew was worth more and then felt compelled to give more without being requested? How did you react to your feelings? Personally, I despise having a guilty conscience and will likely lose sleep until I do something to make amends. I'm just curious if this is common or not, and what your thoughts are.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1650065[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1650066[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1650067[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1650068[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1650069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1650070[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
